For every conversation about auto racing, even when it involves the discussion of those practiced professionals who do it for the sport of it all and the joy of competition, street racing inevitably falls into the mix. Are auto racers setting bad examples for young people with their high speeds and flashy cars? Or should any idiot who tries street racing simply know better? My vote is for the latter…
Street racing is illegal just about anywhere legislators have a brain. People have died in street races, with the innocent bystanders and other drivers the most likely to get hurt by the mindless process.
Street racing takes place on public roads and involves cars driven by morons going speeds they have no business going. As we enter 2009, we need to make sure that we do whatever we can to stop street racing in our towns and cities and support legislation that provides tracks and facilities for these idiots to race their brains out in safety awayfrom the rest of us.
There is even a sense of language in street racing. A “dig” refers to participants toeing a line and getting set to start the insanity. A “roll” is when a race starts at non-zero speed, in others words it refers to a rolling start.
If you or someone you know it into street racing, it is important to realize how dangerous it can be. It is much, much better for you, your friends, your family, and the innocent people around you that you stick to watching racing like ARCA Racing at Cherry Hill or NASCAR. At the very least, crash your Topaz on a legally-sanctioned track that offers amateur nuts the chance to race.
